AMOA & WAFFL

What a great weekend we had! Saturday morning we headed downtown with Tim & Pam to the Austin Museum of Art to see the Roy Lichtenstein exhibit. Matt wasn't too keen on appreciating the artwork, so I spent several minutes with him outside. Conveniently, however, there was some sort of Boy Scouts parade going on down Congress, and Matt was highly entertained by all the boys chanting, the big trucks, balloons, music, etc. He sat there quite contentedly and snacked on crackers while gazing at the show in the streets. I did convince him to come back inside the museum. They have a neat kids area with all kinds of artistic media for the kiddies to play around with. Matt immediately decided his strategy and said, "I do markers!" He sat down and scribbled away, jubilantly exchanging colors after every stroke on the paper.

Then we lunched at Hickory Street. Oh my Lord it was good. It was such a gorgeous day we basked in the warm sun on the patio.

That evening Ava came over to play. Here they are watching a Thomas movie. Matt lasted in that chair for maybe one minute.

Sunday morning we attended church where Steven & I were on nursery duty again with the 18 month olds. It was an emotional day for some of them, but we all made it through! After coming home for lunch and a good nap, we headed over to Tim & Pam's for a Super Bowl party. We also used the big game as an excuse to bring some closure to our West Austin Fantasy Football League season. Holly was our big winner! Woo-hoo!! Celebrating WAFFL it only made sense to have waffles, numerous delicious toppings, and breakfast meats. After eating we all agreed that such a fantastic breakfast menu like that should be appreciated at the dinner hour much more often.

You'll have to ask Pam why she has a bear-skin rug, but it sure makes her cool to all the kids. This picture is awesome.

And what is more fun, really, than everyone crowded inside a cardboard box?

Pooped, Matt slept until nearly 8:30 this morning and then took a 2.5 hour nap. Aaaahhhh.
